An Evening in Tuscany Minestrone Soup

Minestrone soup isn’t usually my go-to order, but thanks to Milford Spice Company’s An Evening in Tuscany, this soup sings! It’s hearty and flavorful and full of veggies, which is perfect for me. What a perfect soup with a little garlic bread on the side for a cozy night in.
